The question with Amazon is the same question that all the big wine clubs/retailers run into. How can they possibly get the volume necessary to provide it for all their viewers? If they can't get 1000 cases of something, will they bother?

It may become a bit more complicated for Amazon, and other on-line retailers. The state of California has recently stated that any entity involved in any way with the sale and drlivery of alcoholic beverages in that state must have a license. That means Amazon must now be licensed there and if other states follow suit, Amazon, et al will have to get licensed everywhere they do business, regardless of whether or not they physically touch the product. Last I heard Amazon was talking to New Vine Logistics to have them handle the shipping issues, but nothing is set yet, so don't hold your breath.

Yes, and until the 21st Amendment to the Constitution is amended, the licensing and restrictions from state to state will remain a thorny, restrictive, disgusting reality.

Giving states freedom to treat wine like no other product is treated by individual states was by far among the dumbest things Congress ever legislated for the wine industry and for consumers--but not for state coffers and protected distributors.
